TOP POLE FRONT SIDE TOP POLE BACK SIDE MIDDLE POLE 5 BOTTOM POLE 2 8.) Insert the bottom pole cap into each bottom pole sections. Note that the bottom pole cap is not designed to support or hold the pole in place. The bottom cap stake prevents the poles from sinking into soft ground and to make assembly easier. See diagram #9. 7 6 9.) Place the first pole upright. Make sure the pole is at a 90 degree angle to the ground. The strength and tightness of the guy ropes will hold the poles in place during play. For best results a minimum of two people should be used to secure the poles in place. TOP 45 NET SAVER CLIP HOLES 10.) Stretch the guy ropes with attached ground stakes into the ground at a 45 degree angle. Note that the guy ropes should both be at a 45 degree angle from the pole and 10" apart from each other. See diagram #7. Adjust the guy rope tension by sliding the tension clip up the guy rope. This step will need to be repeated after you set up both poles and during play, for best results. 10” MIDDLE 8 11.) Repeat steps 8, 9 and 10 for second pole. For optimal play value make sure the poles are centered in the court. For set 3957: 60ʼ BOTTOM Spring Clip 1A 1B Spring Clip 1C 30ʼ 3 9 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: 1.) Find a suitable playing area. Volleyball 60' X 30' 2.) Unfold the net in the middle of the playing area. 3.) Place Spring lock button clip into the top and middle pole section. Make sure spring clip "button" is inserted into the correct hole on the pole. This will allow you to control pole height. See diagram 1A, 1B and 1C 4.) Assemble poles by placing top pole into middle pole and then middle pole into bottom pole. See diagram 2. Note that you can adjust the playing height to three levels. To adjust playing height, push the spring clip button on the bottom pole section and then slide bottom pole section to desired playing height. For best results, always adjust height with minimal guy rope tension. After desired playing height has been selected tighten guy rope to desired tension levels. Slide one foam flag onto each "?" hook. Place one "?" stake into each corner of the court. Set up the boundary marker kit by first measuring the court size and rough marking each corner. Thread the boundary cord through each of the 4 "?" corner stakes. Tie off the boundary marker cord to the first and last "?" stake. Adjust as needed. See diagram #8. To attach the middle guy rope for 3957 set, thread the guy rope through the middle pole guy rope hole located just below the larger spring lock button. Thread the rope through the top of the pole and form a knot. Your knot should be large enough so that the guy rope cannot be pulled back through the pole. The middle guy rope ground stake should be centered between the two top guy rope ground stakes. Set 3957 has 6 Net-Saver tension clips, top, middle and bottom. The middle tension clip attaches to the white side binding (cord) and then to the pole. Height Adjustment: Your set can be adjusted to three playing heights, 7ʼ 1”, 6ʼ, and 5ʼ 1”. To adjust the height of your set, push the spring lock button on the bottom pole section and slide the pole to desired playing height. For best results loosen the tension on all the guy ropes before adjusting the height and readjust the guy rope tensions after the desired playing height has been set. Note that the official playing height is 5ʼ 1”. 4A PAGE 2 4B OF F IE TOP POLE TO T PU LL T IGH T 5.) With the pole and net lying on the ground attach the Net-Saver clips to the net as indicated in diagram 3. Repeat for opposite side. Once the clips are in place attach the opposite end of the Net-Saver clip to the pole. Repeat for opposite side. 4C 6.) Separate the two guy ropes, the guy ropes are packaged together. Take one piece of the guy rope and fold it into two equal halves so that the two ends are touching. Thread the loop end Through the top hole on the top pole and tie off. Please see diagrams 4A, 4B and 4C. Repeat this step for the opposite pole and guy rope. 7.) Thread each end of the guy rope through one end of a guy rope tension bar. Thread the rope through the remaining two holes. Tie a knot in the guy rope large enough so that the guy rope cannot be pulled back through the guy rope tension bar. See diagram #5. Take the loop formed in diagram #5 and place it over the ground stake loop, diagram #6. Repeat the step for all remaining guy ropes and ground stakes. Note: model #3957 also has a middle pole guy rope. PAGE 3 PAGE 4
